2 memorable bandage encounters
I have once encountered a head injury where my guy ( it may have been Shearer) went up for a header and went down in a heap. A yellow box injury and i decided to sub him off. But then the game resumed with the free kick and i noticed big Al with a funny white thing on his noggin. Thought to myself: "how cool is that" and left him on. in a dream situation, he wouldve headed in a 92nd minute winner and a lovely red patch would appear on the bandage but it didnt happen.
In another match, this time versus mode with me Brescia against my mate's Leeds, Robbie Baggio suffered a knee injury and had to have the bandage wrapped round it. This was my first experience in noticing this attention to detail. I kept him on as well, despite his gradually dropping ability. My Leed's mate of course had the utmost respect for my Italian legend, and tried repeatedly to get him stretchered off by going in hard with David Batty several times to no avail, with Robbie converting his penalty in the shootout. I forget who won, but it is not a matter of winning or losing, its whether you enjoy yourself innit?
